In the song Amarillo by Shakira, the singer expresses her deep love for someone special, describing the intense emotions and feelings that come with it. She speaks of the person's unique qualities and how they fill the room with light and joy. She also speaks of the confusion and passion that comes with loving someone so deeply, and how she is lost and anchored to them like a bird to its blue sky. The song is a colorful metaphor for the love she feels, with Amarillo representing the person having her in their pockets, Morado representing forgetting the past, Rojo representing the pain of missing them, Celeste representing the cost of loving them, and Dorado representing not wanting to lose them.

What could it be that you're creating?
What makes you so special?
When I speak or think of you
It's impossible to be impartial
It's not a distortion of perception
Nor lack of common sense
You have become everything and beyond
The world knows it, it's not a taboo
Prechorus 1
It's so unreal
What makes me miss you like this when you're not here
What makes me idolize you like this, it's all you
I'm lost, I live anchored to you
Like a bird to its blue sky
I love you
Yellow, you have me in your pockets
Purple, I already forgot the past
In red, because my eyes bleed from crying for you
When you're not by my side
Sky blue, whatever it costs me
Golden, because I don't plan to lose you
Your love is a rainbow of colors
And I'm dying to have you
Verse 2
It's delightful to see you arrive
To see the effects that you cause
With your angelic smile
You fill the room with light
Only in you I find satisfaction
There's still so much to discover
It's all a sweet confusion
And your skin is fullness
Prechorus 2
You're unreal
What makes me fall in love more every day
What makes me adore you like this, it's all you
I'm lost, I live anchored to you
Like a bird to its blue sky
I love you
Yellow, you have me in your pockets
Purple, I already forgot the past
In red, because my eyes bleed from crying for you
When you're not by my side
Sky blue, whatever it costs me
Golden, because I don't plan to lose you
Your love is a rainbow of colors
And I'm dying to have you
Outro
It's so unreal
What makes me fall in love more every night
What makes me adore you like this, it's all you
I'm lost, I live almost anchored
Like a bird to its blue sky
I love you
